Carrie Woerner Runs for Second Term as 113th Assemblywoman

Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner was elected to the New York State Assembly in November 2014 and is running for her second term on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

Woerner is the chair of the Subcommittee on Agricultural Production & Technology and a member of the Assembly’s Agriculture, Local Governments, Racing and Wagering, Small Business and Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Development committees, as well as a member of the Legislative Women’s Caucus.

Assemblywoman Woerner’s legislation can best be described as pragmatic policy solutions to problems and concerns that are a priority to the people and municipalities of the 113th Assembly District. Each of the bills she introduces have majority sponsors in the Senate, helping to ensure their eventual passage into law. In the first year of her first term, Carrie succeeded in shepherding 7 bi-partisan bills through the Legislature, of these 5 were signed into law.

Because of her efforts:

Saratoga County is able to fund the county’s economic development agency (A6909)

Saratoga Springs continues to receive VLT revenues (A6332)

Ballston Spa School District has the tools it needs to manage its finances (A7622)

Saratoga County Water Authority is able to make upgrades and improvements to its water treatment facilities (A7293)

The Historic Hudson-Hoosic Rivers Partnership can move forward to build a regional Visitors Center to support tourism in the river communities that surround the Saratoga National Battlefield Park. (A5076)

One of the principal responsibilities of an elected official is to help citizens connect with and successfully navigate the functions of New York State government. Whether it is getting an expedited approval by a regulatory agency so that a small business can launch a new product line, or helping a caregiver secure the resources she needs for her son with ALS, Carrie and her staff prioritize the work they do on behalf of constituents who reach out to her for help.

Constituents connect with Carrie at Open Office hours that she hosts monthly in both Fort Edward and Saratoga Springs. Since taking office, Carrie has hosted 14 Town Hall Meetings at various locations throughout the District, providing constituents with an opportunity to get an update on what is happening in the Legislature and to weigh in on policy questions. An active user of social media, constituents know that they can reach out to Carrie through social media, email, and phone to share their concerns with her.

Every candidate for office says they will work across the aisle to get things done, but how many of them actually do work in a bipartisan manner? Carrie Woerner immediately started working in a bipartisan manner since the day she took office. “When I took office in January 2015, I committed myself to representing all 135,000 people of the 113th Assembly District.” Carrie Woerner has lived up to her pledge to be a voice for all of my constituents without regard to party and deserves re-election to the 113th Assembly District for the State of New York.
